Master craftsman and pioneer of the shaping industry, Renny Yater, designed the True Ames Yater Classic Single Fin to accompany his high-performance single fin known as ‘The Pocket Rocket’, a classic pintail of the early ‘70s era. Its upright profile, combined with a full foil and minimal flex, make it a performance-driven and trustworthy fin.
The Yater Classic has stood the test of time and become quite versatile, performing well both in a wide spectrum of equipment and in all types of waves. This fin's relative stiffness provides power, drive, and stability–making this fin a great option when the surf is bigger.

Additional Info
E-Glass (Solid Fiberglass)
In order to achieve the performance characteristics that have become the standard of solid Fiberglass surf fins, True Ames uses E-Glass. It is the most common type of Fiberglass used in surfboard construction, and its qualities translate with great success into fin construction. E-Glass has excellent flex characteristics and performance longevity, while featuring the bonus of outstanding color vibrancy that allows for the variety of colors True Ames offers.
There are many revered board builders that reside in their hometown of Santa Barbara, but only a few have made as strong an impact on design as Yater. An early apprentice to legendary shapers Hobie Alter and Dale Velzy in Laguna Beach, Yater brought his passion for shaping, surfing, and lobster fishing with him to Santa Barbara in 1959, where he has continued to refine his craft ever since.
